> It is a hypothetical.

I think that's what you're missing.  It's not hypothetical.  Weapons
and drugs are smuggled into county jails every day and these things
actually do happen on a fairly regular basis.  That's like stating
that cars shouldn't be required to have emergency flashers because
it's hypothetical to say they will break down and need to use them.
It does happen all the time which is why they go to such lengths to
prevent it.  Do you honestly believe that the corrections staff enjoys
shining a flashlight into people's body cavities all day long?  Heck
no!  (Well, maybe a few do, but that's a different discussion).  They
do it because it's necessary, not because they have secret desires to
open a colonoscopy clinic.

You could say that about the entire legal/justice system, or just
about any rule for that matter.  Speed limits are set for safety based
on the design of the road and expected use patterns, for safety, but I
don't hear anyone complaining that they violate someone's personal
liberty to operate their motor vehicle.
